paperbean design is a small boutique specialising in custom handmade event stationery as well as graphic design needs for businesses.

Why paperbean design?

The name paperbean design was birthed and registered in 2003. See, I believe, even though we all desire a paper-less living, going eco-green, minimalist, decluttering, and revolting against spam and junk mail, paper will remain a dear part of our lives!

Think about your children's whimsical art from when they were three, treasure diaries from childhood, silk-bound old books, perfumed love letters and tied with red ribbon, even popcorn holders with its distinct red and white stripes, beautifully printed coffee table books.

There is a visceral pleasure in receiving (and sending) exquisitely hand-crafted wedding invites, that are beautiful to touch, to hold and even to frame!

And bean because while the bean is essentially a boring legume, with the help of a few spices, some meat, perhaps a pumpkin or two... and wallah, the bean dish transforms into a spectacular dish for all to share and enjoy.

Haven't we all seen a boring piece of paper transformed into a treasured item with beautiful fonts, colour, meaningful content, ribbon, embellishments and a few gems? So... paperbean design.
